The country ought 10 thank Senator Edmunds
Tor expressing his hearty disapprobation OF the
poor Congressional trick Of setting back the clocks
IN the Capitol Of the last hours OF the session In
order by that deceptive proceeding, to get through
certain legislation which from one cause or an
other may not be perfected within the time al
lowed by law for the life of Congress. The device
Is miserable one In itself, and wholly unworthy
any dignined and responsible body, and there can
hardly be doubt that laws passed under such cir
cunstanees would be pronounced invalid IL sub
1ected 10 the test OF judicial decision But that
consideration aside, the whole proceeding Is more
Ike the petty freak OF pack OF boys than the
serious actions OF men who are supposed 10 have
Qualifications and sense OF propriety sufficient to
constitute respectable legislative boiy. 1t Is to
De hoped. On every account, that the country has

Another secretary for Ireland is used up and his
successor steps jauntily to the front Exit Hicks
Beach, enter Balfour. The position OF secretary
Tor Ireland resembles that OF a pacha in eastern
countries who Is pictured by Marryat in one OF bis
novels as q man whose head is elevated some
what above that of his fellows for the purpose OF
more convenient decaptation- The secretary is
placed at the point or collision between Irish and
English-tory opinion, and lives in the social and
political cyclone which results from this meeting
OF forces He iSeXecrated without cessation either
by the Irish people or his tory masters and often
by both The tories offer up ON the secretaryship
altar Balfour, member OF Churchills guerilla
fourth party, with the same cheerful resignation
that Artemus Ward displayed in Offering for sac
Tffice bis wife's relatives. With the government
divided as 10 its Irish policy and the opposition
united against coercion, Balfour will lind it hard
10 act IN such wise as to please more than a mi
nor1ty, and his lot Is not likely to be happier one
than that Of his extingushed predecessors
The order issued 10 the cOnStabulary In one de-
partment OF Ireland TO FIRE upon the people if they
offered violent resistance to the service OF a legal
wit upon favorite priest, Is only one OF MANY
little straws which show the way the wind Is
blowing under the present tory government The
"Boston MASSACRE as il Is called in history. was.
in fact only laundering British effort to preserve
the peace. The mob who received the fire of the
troops on that occasion deserved their punish
ment, II we consider the affair only in the light OF
the police regulations OF the period. But the Bos-
ton massacre was one Of several Incidents leading
directly TO the instruction OF the colonies: and
from the point OF view of successful revolution
every man Who took part In the affair was a
patrio. and hero. The conservative Briuon OF to-
day, In framing his policy for the pacincation OF
Ireland, need not go further In his search for yau
able presidents and suggestions than the history
OF the American rebellion little more than cen
tury ago.

"rhe Economic Disturbances Since
1878" by Hon, David A. Wells in Popu.
lar Science Monthly: One of the most
momentous and what may be called hu-
manitarian results of the recent great ex-
tension and cheapening of the world g
railway system and service is, that there
is now no longer any occasion for the
people of any country indulging in either
excessive hopes or fears as to the results
of any particular harvest; inasmuch as
the failure of crops in any one country Is
no longer, as il was, no later that twenty
years ago, identical with high prices of
grain; the prices of cereals being at pres
ont regulated not within any particular
country, but by the combined produc-
ton and consumption of IL countries
made mutually accessible by railroads
and steamships. Hence 1t is that since
1870, years of locally bad crops in Europe
have generally witnessed considerably
lower prices than years when the local
crops were good and there was local
surplus for export.
In short one marked effect of the pres
ent railroad and steamship system of
transportation has been to compel Il
uniformity of prices for all commodities
that are essential to life, and to put An
end forever to what, less than half a
century ago, was q constant feature OF
commerce. namely, the existence OF local
markets, with widely divergent prices
for such commodities. How much of
misery and starvation locally deficient
market entailed under the old system
upon the poorer classes, through the
absence of opportunity of supplying the
deficiency through Importations. is
shown by the circumstance that in the
English debates upon the corn laws
about the year 0,S40, it was estimated
upon data furnished by Mr. Tooke, in hi
History of Prices" that deficiency o
one-sixth in the English harvest resulted
in rise of at least 100 per cent in the
price of grain: and another estimate by
Davenant and King, for the close of the
seventeenth century, corrohorates thi
apparently excessive statement.
